3 mln museum showpieces were evaluated by a symbolical LTL 1 mln

Lithuania does not know what
treasures are stored in Lithuanian museums because around 3 million of
showpieces were evaluated by a symbolical LTL 1 million (EUR 0.3 million),
informs LETA/ELTA, referring to Respublika.

The National Audit Office which
performs state audits all ministries stresses that the Ministry of Culture has
improved in managing state budget funds. However, the accounting of cultural
and art goods is very poor. "The consolidated financial reports of the
Ministry of Culture could be called impeccable. But there is a problem that
needs urgent actions. The ministry must determinate the actual value of
cultural good. The showpieces at museums is planned to be evaluated by late
2020. If the ministry does not speed it up the accounting of cultural goods
will continue to fail to show the actual financial situation," said
Auditor General Giedre Svediene.

Circular economy for modern growth: EU and the Baltics EU’s circular economy plans are aimed at efficient use of natural resources and raw materials, waste disposal, while fostering energy savings and reducing CO2. Adequate actions in the Baltic States would contribute to “closing the loop” of product lifecycles through greater recycling and re-use, while bringing benefits to environment, business and economic growth.
